EXTREME Safety has released the DEHNguard YPV 600V surge protection device for photovoltaic installations.
According to Extreme Safety, the DEHNguard YPV 600V surge protection device is suitable for 600V DC circuits and can handle 40kA impulse in 8/20 waveform.
The DEHNguard YPV 600V is a pre-wired modular unit which consists of a base part and plug-in protection modules. It features a combined disconnection and short-circuiting design and safe electrical isolation to prevent fire damage due to DC arcs.
Extreme Safety says the fault-resistant Y circuit prevents damage to the unit in case of insulation faults in the generator circuit.
